Hi, I'm looking for information re. John JOHNSTON who lived in Rutherford Co., NC in the earlier 1800's. He died in GA in 1847; I think in Walker Co. John siblings: William b. abt 1769; d. 1856 Martha b. 1780; d. 1853; m. Benjamin KEETER. Amia d. abt 1839; m. Starling HARRIS Sarah d. abt 1829; m.

Rebecca KEETER Rutherford Co., NC Nathaniel William George Rebecca b. 1812; d. 1870-1880 in Towns Co., GA; m. James L. WALKER Sarah m. A.B. BRADLEY Shall appreciate very much any help you can give me, please. Thanks! Mary G mayedg@sanctum.com

Linda Sue, Have you or anyone run across a Garner Parrish b 1800 N Ca. with wife Cela (unknown) b 1805 Ky? They were married in Adair Co, Ky 29 Jul 1818. Family lore has it that they walked the trail of tears but you know how that goes. I found them on the Polk Co, Ar 1850 census. With them were: Rebecca M Parrish b ca 1831 Tn James Parrish b ca 1832 NC Conortlin G Parrish b ca 1834 Il John E Parrish b ca 1835 Tn Mary A Parrish b ca 1835 Tn Melissa Parrish b ca 1838 Tn Elizabeth Parrish b ca 1841 Tn Louisa Parrish b ca 1843 Tn Thomas Parrish b ca 1845 Ar Don't know if all the children were theirs as we were told that they may have adopted some of them as they were orphaned on the trail. The children were in no particular order on the census which may or may not mean anything. Would appreciate any help. I'll be out of town for a couple of days so won't be able to respond to any one til Sunday. Thanks to all. Carolyn

Sue, Go ahead and call if you want to.......I have been working 16 hour days lately so I hate to promise and not do it. They said they did not have records for the cemetery. About 80% of the people buried there are relatives of mine. All the Parrish, all the Hollingsworths, including my Dad's brother who died at only 3 months of age. He is buried next to my Great Grandparents (his father's parents). When my Grandmother pasted in 1997 we found his little memorial book from 1938 when he died and she had pressed little flowers in there. they where still intact when we found the book! That cemetery and where it is located is one of the most awesome places I have ever been. Of all of us on the list that descends from John Parrish, we need to get a fund going to repair his headstone. It is broken in half. I will quit rambling now...................Linda Sue

Good News to all Walker County Genealogy Fans. The Walker County Probate Docket is now completely backup on the internet site. I am starting to work next on the Marriages. Marriages contains both a brides index and a grooms index. It is quite complete from the date that records being maintained until about 1920. It will take a while to get this index completely backup but there is only this and the 1900 census index remaining of what was on the old site. Once those two pieces are back online we can start forging new territory. Most of the other resources that were on the site at geocities are back up and working at the new location at http://www.rootsweb.com/~gawalker/index.html. Check it out and let me know of any problems you may encounter.

Linda Sue, if you are going to call the church, I won't. Let me know what they say if you do. I know members who go there including relatives. Did they have any cemetery records... I was told once they did not.

Dear List Members, This site was shared with me today and I am thrilled with it. If you have or might have ancestors who were from Virginia, you need to check this one out. Plan on spending some time. There is a lot of information. http://www.lva.lib.va.us/dlp/index.htm "The Library of Virginia's Digital Library Program (DLP) is an internationally recognized effort to preserve, digitize, and provide access to significant archival and library collections. The DLP transfers rare and unique Virginia materials into an integrated, user-friendly electronic research environment. Since its inception in 1995, the Program has digitized more than 2.2 million original documents, photographs, and maps, and produced more than 80 fully-searchable databases, indexes, and electronic finding aids."

Duke, I called the church about 3 months ago and was asking about cemetary records but not church records. I will call them in regards to that in a couple of days. Cuz Linda Sue

Bill, I second what Othilla said and only hope that it isn't to much that you slow down for there was allot of work to be done on this site. Maybe now you can get some more volunteers. For as they see someone come onboard like you that is putting all the effort into this site, it helps bring people on.
